Notice of Preventative Treatments for Termites – Cape Coral, FL

The Notice of Preventative Treatments for Termites is a City of Cape Coral Building Division form that records a preventative termite treatment at a property, as required by Florida Building Code (FBC) 105.10, including the company, product, quantities and stage of treatment.

The one-page form is a record of a single treatment. It asks for:

• the company name and telephone numbers, and the address of the treatment;
• the date, the time and the applicator;
• the product used, the chemical used (active ingredient) and the number of gallons applied;
• the percent concentration, the area treated in square feet and the linear feet treated;
• the stage of treatment: Horizontal, Vertical, Adjoining Slab, or retreat of disturbed area.

The form also repeats the rule it comes from. Under 105.10, if the soil chemical barrier method is used for termite prevention, the final exterior treatment must be completed before final building approval. A line at the bottom is initialed and dated when the notice covers that final exterior treatment.

The City lists the document in its Permit Document Center, in the Miscellaneous Documents category, next to items such as the Notice of Commencement and the Revision Form. It is a notice of work done, not a permit application.

The form is used where a preventative termite treatment has to be documented for the City of Cape Coral under FBC 105.10, as the title of the form states. The rule printed on it applies when the soil chemical barrier method is used for termite prevention: in that case the final exterior treatment must be completed before final building approval, and the notice for that treatment carries the initial-and-date line.

The details the form asks for are those of the treatment itself: the company and its telephone numbers, the applicator, the product and chemical, and the amounts applied. A separate notice can be completed for each stage listed on the form (Horizontal, Vertical, Adjoining Slab, or retreat of disturbed area).

The form does not say who signs it or who may complete it for someone else, and it prints no exclusions. Questions about whether your project needs it go to the City of Cape Coral Building Division.

The form ties its timing to final building approval: if the soil chemical barrier method is used for termite prevention, the final exterior treatment must be completed before final building approval, according to 105.10 as quoted on the form. When the notice is for that final exterior treatment, you initial and date the line at the bottom of the form.

The form prints no other due date. Each notice records the date and time of the treatment it describes, and the stage of treatment (Horizontal, Vertical, Adjoining Slab, or retreat of disturbed area) shows which part of the work it covers.

The form names no mailing address, portal or office for returning it. The City of Cape Coral publishes it in the Permit Document Center, under Miscellaneous Documents, at https://www.capecoral.gov/departments/development_services/permitting_services_division/permit_document_center.php.

Because the notice supports the final exterior treatment that must be finished before final building approval, ask the City of Cape Coral Building Division how it wants the completed notice delivered with your permit file. Keep a copy of the completed form for your records. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the City's channels.
